This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work.

For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.

And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.

Let rulers whose rule is good be honoured twice over, specially those whose work is preaching and teaching.

And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.
